A fire broke out in Barberville, a subur
! ban village on the Danielsville road about
/ a mile from Athens. Wednesday, which re-
resulted in the destruction of the saw mill of
John r. Crawford, thriving merchant of
| that place. Several thousand feet of lum-
Dor were burned, besides all the saw mill
machinery. By the most strenuous efforts
the engine and the ginhouse, in connection
with the saw mill were saved from the
| flames. 1t is thought the fire originated
from a spark from the engine Mr. Craw-
ford will replace his loss with new machin-
cry, and will soon be ready to begin the saw
mill business on a better footing than be-
fore. The loss from the fire has not yet
been estimated.
A Madison special says: There are two
versions of the Shady Dale homicide. Nc
Dads, who killed the negro Reese Mann.
says that he went to the house of the de-
ceased to get his son, who was under con-
tract to work for him (McDade). A quarrel
began, hot words passed and the negro
struck him with a hoe handle and tried to
strike him with an AK, whereupon he shot
him twice, in the leg and abdomen. The
wife Of the deceased says that McDade went
after the boy and ordered him back to
work. The boy refusing, he began to fog
the boy and the deceased told him to stop,
whereupon McDade replied that he would
whip him deceased also. A quarrel and
fight enSued and McDade shot and killed her
husband
A gentleman who knows what he is talk
ing about says it is the intention of the Full
ton county commissioners to issue the $780,
600 of bonds in patches of $50, 900 per year
By that plan it would take the county ten
years to get in debt $500 900. 1t is believed
the county could float the bonds at AZ per
cent, SO that the interest account when it
got under full Roadway would be 1872, 500
per year. The commissioners propose to
spend the money on the county and subur-
ban roads. That the county and suburbs
will get the benefit and Atlanta pays the
expenses can be seen by the following fig
ures: The real and personal property of the
city of Atlanta, as shown by the city tax
books, amounts to $31 ,500,013 The real and
personal property of the county foots up ac-
cording to the county tax books 49,, 6Sf, 740
In order that there may be no possibility of
misunderstanding it should be stated
however, that the real difference in city and
county values is a little greater than the
| above figures Indicate. Leaving out the
matter of personal property, the Comptrol-
Ter Generals report shows that the i'm
proved lands of Fulton county are valued
at So, 1914, 725, and the city and town prop
erty at $l9,979, 725 Giving the 1919, 125 as
the value of West End--which is too high
the value of Atlanta real estate as given in
by the owners at $40, 100000, SO that Just
on the matter of dirt and mortar Atlanta is
more than six times as large as the country
part of the county on which the money IS
to be spent.
